Oil brands no longer publishing HTHS?

Noticed this when I looked around for oils.
Other than Mobil1/Redline/Motul, big brands such as Castrol and Shell don't seem to share HTHS anymore.
Is this due to industrial shift to eco-friendly oils with lower HTHS?

No, it is more trying to make others work on that to get info. For practical purposes, 99.99999999% of people do not understand what is HTHS.
